If you have a wonky table they're quite good for propping up the loose leg, you might have to tear a few pages out to jam it in there but these can be handily used as firelighters, or even as toilet paper if you're in a fix.

LOL! Wonky? I'm claiming that as my new word of the day!

I give Dan Brown all the credit in the world for his success.  I couldn't finish DaVinci Code the first time.  It was a lot of what we call info-dump, but I think that's what appealed to a lot of people.  The beginning was a great hook, although if you've ever seen someone gut-shot they don't go around arranging their death scene so only one person in the world can figure out the riddle.  They scream and writhe a lot.  In the Civil War, gut shot was a death sentence.
I finally forced myself to finish it, because I wanted to analyze it as a writer.  And there was no climactic scene.  At the end we were right back at the beginning and nothing changed.  That's not a spoiler, because nothing happened.
Anyway.  Try Steve Berry?  A good writer and a really good guy.
